THE SPICE GUYS - Elizabeth Mitchell Taylor

The Spice Guys
8 x 10 - Acrylic
$125

Fiery or mild, and available in countless varieties, the chili pepper is used in cuisines all over the world. Christopher Columbus was one of the first Europeans to encounter them (in the Caribbean), and called them "peppers" because of their similarity in taste (though not in appearance) with the Old World Black peppers. From Mexico, at the time the Spanish colony that controlled commerce with Asia, chili peppers spread rapidly into the Philippines and then to India, China, Korea and Japan.
